Plonkett 345 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 What do you think the film's rating should be, G or PG? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondorf8 11,288 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 I want it to be given a G rating, but I can see it being bumped up to PG because of animated violence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnimatorOfficial 567 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 If there's any sense of danger or fantasy elements then it's an automatic PG, by today's MPAA standards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi89 5,293 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 They'll maybe slip in enough violence or the same level of innuendos as the actual show for a PG rating. ˙ʎpoqʎuɐ ƃuᴉlooɟ ʇou ǝɹ,noʎ 'sᴉɥʇ pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChB 18,550 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 I think it's going to be rated G. Sorry for sounding like a broken record, but if the show's primary target audience are young girls, why would Hasbro make parents have second thoughts about letting their 3-5 year old child watch it?

Zachary 5,521 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 Easy, I'm going to say It would be a G rated Movie. 1 Thanks Kyoshi for the Signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjaed 526 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 I don't know... It ought to be rated G because that's what it is and it doesn't need more to be as awesome as the show is, but it probably (and sadly) should be rated PG so that people actually care enough to watch and discover MLP. Frozen and Hunger Games are both rated PG, just to show how dumb the rating is nowadays. Nostalgia Critic made a video about the rating system 2 months ago that I suggest you watch, if you haven't already. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,568 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 If this was released 10 years ago, it'd most definitely be G, but considering the ridiculous standards the MPAA have for children's movies, any movie that want's to be rated G has to have absolutely zero conflict to get it. So it'll likely get a PG, not that it means anything anymore That said, if they manage to get that G rating, I wouldn't be surprised 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim&Venöm 18,738 November 15, 2016 Share November 15, 2016 G rated? Aren't those only reserved for like Barney, Dora, Callou, Lazy town and nature documentaries? I mean, if we're gonna get anything like the S5 finale, the S4 finale, or even the S2 finale, it's gonna have to be rated PG. Heck, I think even the G1 MLP movie would be PG by today's standards. So since the general feeling is that this will be a fantasy adventure epic, it'll probably be geared towards the whole family, likely the 7-10 year old demographic. I mean think about it. The show started 6 years ago. It will be 7 by the time the film comes around. Even the youngest of the target audience would by then be 10 years old. Remember, a key tenet of the show is that it talks with it's audience, not down to it. So being that the show's audience is a little older (and why would any parent want to bring a 5 year old to the movies?), a PG rating would be best for the spirit and content of the show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Story is G. All Disney for some time have been rated G, including the Lion King and Bambi with on-screen deaths. Frozen and other such ones should be G as well, but because of how the system is made (there's a swear word/mature joke omg!!) they're rated PG...and it's on purpose that there's this out of place "mature joke", swear word or whatever. After all, G is now considered to be for braindead people or very young children, toddlers even. So PG is the thing to be if a film wants to be considered watchable/enjoyable by 7+ yo. Do watch the Nostalgia Critic video if you have time, he explains it better than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarity Is Best Pony 634 November 16, 2016 Share November 16, 2016 It'll be rated PG as the MPAA is pretty strict with the way that films are rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peanuts Movie was miraculously able to keep a G rating, so hopefully the MLP movie could do the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And...how does that make this new film more inclined to getting a PG rating? Especially when there's non-fantastical touchy touchy moments with Adagio and sensual dancing. Also, RR still has that portal and the ponies appearing, plus magical-induced brain control and transformations. That car just can't be legit, Vinyl!!

Miss 6,223 November 16, 2016 Share November 16, 2016 I think the movie should be Rated R to give children a sense of realism. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are the standards for a Y rating on TV a lot more lenient than the standards for a G rating in movies? Edited November 17, 2016 by ChB Thanks to @Sparklefan1234 for this awesome sig!

weesh 690 November 17, 2016 Share November 17, 2016 i want it to be accessible to everyone. so give us a 'G' rated film. There is nothing about a 'G' rated film that means it will be worse than 'PG'. 2 Send me pictures of ponies in hoodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortar 143 November 17, 2016 Share November 17, 2016 I think it's going to be rated G. Sorry for sounding like a broken record, but if the show's primary target audience are young girls, why would Hasbro make parents have second thoughts about letting their 3-5 year old child watch it? I doubt the parents would. I go to a lot of movies and, unfortunately, I see parents bringing in little kids to R-rated flicks all the time. PG would mean nothing to them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
